<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2773116, member: 15309"]As others have stated, EOR toning on Morgan Dollars usually manifests itself in two ways. The first is when they paper is folded over the end coin. These coins will present clear demarcation lines that show the where the flap of paper was on the coin. For example:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MD1885-ONGCMS65EOR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second type is with the paper crimped along the outer edge of the coin. These will usually show an untoned periphery with rainbow toning across the exposed area of the coin. For example:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MD1881-SNGCMS64GFEOR_zps6400917e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in the OP shows neither of these patterns and instead has rainbow toning that is most developed at the periphery and graduates to an untoned center of the coin, which is the usual characteristic of album toning. However, as others have mentioned, the toning on this particular Morgan is questionable. Whenever you see a raw common date low grade Morgan Dollar with what appears to be questionable toning, the best policy is to pass on the coin. There are just too many nicely toned Morgans to bother with coin that might be a problem coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
